philiprehberger-run-parallel 0.1.2

Run multiple functions in parallel and collect results with the simplest possible API

philiprehberger-run-parallel

Run multiple functions in parallel and collect results with the simplest possible API.

Install

pip install philiprehberger-run-parallel

Usage

Run functions in parallel

from philiprehberger_run_parallel import parallel

results = parallel(
    lambda: 1 + 1,
    lambda: 2 + 2,
    lambda: 3 + 3,
)
# [2, 4, 6]

Pass arguments with tuples

from philiprehberger_run_parallel import parallel
import time

results = parallel(
    (time.sleep, 0.1),
    (pow, 2, 10),
)
# [None, 1024]

Map a function over items

from philiprehberger_run_parallel import parallel_map

results = parallel_map(str.upper, ["hello", "world"])
# ["HELLO", "WORLD"]

# Control the number of workers
results = parallel_map(fetch_url, urls, workers=8, timeout=30)

Async parallel

import asyncio
from philiprehberger_run_parallel import aparallel

async def main():
    results = await aparallel(
        fetch("https://example.com/a"),
        fetch("https://example.com/b"),
    )
    print(results)

asyncio.run(main())

Error handling

from philiprehberger_run_parallel import parallel, ParallelError

try:
    results = parallel(
        lambda: 1,
        lambda: 1 / 0,
    )
except ParallelError as e:
    print(e.errors)   # [None, ZeroDivisionError(...)]
    print(e.results)  # [1, None]

API Reference

Function / Class	Description
parallel(*tasks, timeout=None) -> list	Run callables or (fn, *args) tuples via ThreadPoolExecutor, return results in order.
parallel_map(fn, items, *, workers=0, timeout=None) -> list	Apply a function to each item in parallel, return results in order.
aparallel(*coros) -> list	Run async coroutines concurrently via asyncio.gather, return results in order.
ParallelError	Raised when any task fails. Has .errors (list of exceptions/None) and .results (list of values/None).
